Trip: Fraser Valley Rock Climbing - A Picture TR -

 

Date: 5/19/2009

 

Trip Report:

I heard a complaint about there being a lack of new climbing TR's on CC recently. I figured all my cragging is pretty boring stuff but I decided to try and up the hype by posting some pics and short stories from the past couple months.

 

For the past couple months i have been climbing a lot at the Harrison Bluffs and Nicolum Knob in Hope. I've cleaned stuff on the Up To Here Wall.. the Change Room Wall and the East Wall in Harrison and Dru and I put up a new line in Hope a while back...

 

I spent some time bouldering in Harrison and at the Old Hope Boulders too...

Marc, thanks for the picture TR. I'd like to see more rock climbing photo TR's like the one you've posted. A lot of rock jocks don't even check this site, but I'm sure they'd like the circus net pics.

 

Is that net still up? I'd love to get on those old J.Sandford routes ropeless.

 

Great TR!
